A connection sometimes times out inside the client connection pool, on the 
server-side, or within the intermediaries (firewalls).   First thing we’ll need 
is the stack trace and your fortress.properties, with necessary redactions of 
course, in order to (try and) pinpoint the root cause.

There are settings in the client-side pooling mechanism that affect this 
behavior.  There are code changes that can be made.  There are settings on the 
server.  But first we must understand why it’s happening in your tests.  

Just to be clear - what you're describing here is very bad behavior for an 
application to have, and deserves serious attention from us.  To put it simply, 
it’s a show-stopper.    

Just now, I ran a couple of tests inside my local env.  Using openldap as the 
server, and a max idle timeout of 30 seconds.  After 30 seconds of inactivity, 
slapd will forcefully terminate any connections being held open by a client.  I 
also had fortress web deployed to tomcat.

First I restarted slapd daemon with open browser session logged into the app.  
Next I left the web session open for around 10 minutes.  

Neither test case resulted in a failure.  For my tests, the ldap connection 
pool managed to recover.  

I need to re-run the same tests using ApacheDS server, and will will once I 
learn how to set its max idle timeout. 

But, just because I can’t recreate your issue inside my local env doesn’t tell 
us much.  The good news, once we’ve got repeatable steps to recreate, this 
problem ought to get solved quickly.  

Thanks for reporting it,

Shawn
